{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Line weight for an old Sage GFL

The GFL is also known as the RPL and was a pretty popular Sage rod. It isn't flimsy, per se, just a mid/medium action rod. A regular 5wt line should be fine, but just remember the action on a mid/medium rod will be slower than your typical tip-flex rods.

Just was gifted an old sage gfl 7'6" 5wt.  Cool old rod, but it seems to be a little less burly than most modern 5wts. Just wanted to get some takes on line weights, stick with the traditional 5wt, or maybe go down a step?
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
